Hey Pretty
"Hey Pretty" is a song by singer-songwriter Poe. The song in its original version, on her 2000 album ''Haunted'', was a sultry pop rant of a woman seeking sexual satisfaction on any grounds possible. It was remade with most of her vocals eliminated and replaced with a reading by her brother, author Mark Z. Danielewski, from his hit book ''House of Leaves''. This new version became a moderate radio hit. Getting "Hey Pretty" on the radio was a challenge in 2001 as alternative radio was playing few female-led acts in the post-Lilith Fair backlash. In an interview with MTV, Poe explained the way in which the Drive-By Remix came about: "Radio was not interested. I called a few program directors, and they aid 'We really love the record, but we're just not playing women.' This one rogram directorin Portland, Oregon 4.7 KNRK's Mark Hamilton said, 'My station is basically in the same boat. Do some crazy mix that you think will fit this format, and I'll play it once.' I go home, and I' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

House Of Leaves
''House of Leaves'' is the debut novel by American author Mark Z. Danielewski, published in March 2000 by Pantheon Books. A bestseller, it has been translated into a number of languages, and is followed by a companion piece, '' The Whalestoe Letters''. The plot is centered on a fictional documentary about a family whose house contains a seemingly endless labyrinth. The format and structure of ''House of Leaves'' is unconventional, with unusual page layout and style, making it a prime example of ergodic literature. It contains copious footnotes, many of which contain footnotes themselves, including references to fictional books, films or articles. In contrast, some pages contain only a few words or lines of text, arranged in strange ways to mirror the events in the story, often creating both an agoraphobic and a claustrophobic effect. At points, the book must be rotated to be read. The novel is also distinctive for its multiple narrators, who interact with each other in elaborate ...
